Bio

I’m a Physics and Math undergraduate at Drake University who thrives at the crossroads of science, technology, and creativity. My passion for motorsport and aerospace fuels my fascination with precision engineering, from the aerodynamics of sports cars to the structural elegance of spacecraft. I see equations as blueprints, engines as symphonies, and innovation as an art form. But I’m not only driven by the mechanics of the universe, I’m also a storyteller. Writing is how I explore ideas, challenge perspectives, and make science accessible. Whether I’m drafting a research concept or crafting a short story, I believe the future belongs to those who can imagine it and build it. Growing up in Pakistan taught me to solve problems with resourcefulness and vision. My dream is to design technologies that redefine performance, sustainability, and exploration and to tell eclectic stories that resonate with people from different backgrounds.
